I'm not a blueberry fan but blueberry dumplings sound scrumptious, Teri.

A friend of mine posted a granola bar recipe on Facebook today. My kids love these but I don't buy them because most brands have a peanut warning. Oh goodness, they are yummy. How did I miss making something this simple, all this time?



Chewy Granola Bars
3 cups oats
1 cup flour
...1 t. baking soda
2 t. vanilla
2/3 cup butter, softened
cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup mini chocolate chips or M&Ms
Optional: raisins, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts
In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, and baking soda. In another bowl, combine vanilla, butter, honey, and brown sugar; add to oat mixture and stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Lightly press mixture into the pan with the back of your spoon. Bake at 325 for 22 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving.

Setsail - granola/granola bars are . We don't have the nut allergies (so far, thank goodness) so I must admit that we don't often make it at home. I'm not sure why. Actually, I am... laziness... and even that's not a great excuse... lol. Hope you enjoy it!!

Oh my goodness Cherry! What a little adorable punkin'!!! I want to gobble her up!!!

Where's my Mavis??!! Crying2

Teri & Setsail - both of your desserts sound scrumptious!

Quote from Dec12Girl :
Hey Guys - sorry I haven't been around - this thyroid is kicking my arse & I am trying to get my books in order for my son's school term (I am homeschooling him but I am trying to start at the same time as the school district so a couple of weeks only.) I haven't even been to Target --- I have been buying items full price from the local grocery store ... just no energy other than getting the basics at the moment.

I am hoping in the next couple of weeks to get things working better!

HUGS to all of you!!! I am behind on people's news --- I will try and stop by tonight or tomorrow and just do some reading.

Cherry (I hope had a healthy happy little girlie) and Ank I know Mavis isn't here yet --- but soon!!!!! Rachael - hope the PG is going smoothly!
Comfort I am so sorry about your thyroid problems - I swear I know exactly what you mean. From my surgery and for months after I was in a daze. Were it not for Ariel dragging me through the deals at the time, I would have missed the rest of 2008 & most of '09. laugh out loud I just could not think. It was like being a stroke patient, or Alzheimers or something. You have my sympathy hug If there is anything I can spoon-feed you let me know, there's a lot going on at T right now. Hug2




Ank - I'm pulling for you and Mavis, girl - hang in there!

Dia - so sorry about all you are going through! *hugs* to you! Take it easy and feel better !

Cherry - congratulations! She is beautiful!! Such thick hair too. Love the pics!

Ank - were you doing anything when the contractions started? maybe you could do it againLMAO No, seriously, I know you are ready, but a friend of mine did the contraction thing off and on for a week or so.. Doc told her it was better that way.. all those little contractions helped her cervix along the path and her delivery was faster!

Man the heat is just killing me.. I went out shopping for a bit this afternoon.. I am not motivated in this weather.. but, I hit one target, not a ST, and it was just boring.. I really sympathize with those who don't have a ST or atleast expanded target so they can take advantage of the new coupons.. Other than the free produce and bread, target isn't as exciting. I ended up getting socks, bic pens, and some 50% stuff from the dollar spot. First time I have had to argue over that c9 coupon.. after much debate I was allowed to use only 1..

*rant*
Had a horrible time at kroger.. carefully planned a run.. went to check out and as I am about to hand over my coupons, I notice the green light isn't on for the catalina machine, and I am expecting 4 different cats to print.. so, I asked her if she could check because it didn't look like her machine was on. She informed me that the whole system was down. I questioned why the register beside me had the light on and she told me it didn't matter.. I really didn't believe her and had used the self check out 30 mins before and it worked. I explained that I was only buying the products to get the cat back and she just looked at meLMAO I told her it would have to be voided. ( I got stuck with a faulty cat machine at a different store last night and wasn't doing that again)... anyway, she got an attitude, didn't say a word and grabbed the stuff. I picked up 9 packs of crayons and went to the self checkout.. paid my 2.25 and got my 4.00 cat no problems.. I took it back to the same lady and showed her and asked her where my stuff went. She didn't apologize or anything.. just pointed to the basket of return stuff and turned back around. I picked my stuff back up and went back to the same register and finished.. I told my DH that you gotta have thick skin and stand your ground to coupon these daysWink

SO, after those 2 stops, I was tired or arguing, hot, and decided to go home.. 30 minutes after I got home, I realized that I needed butter to make something for work tomorrowMad back to kroger I went.. but, this time went well.. grabbed 4 more boxes of free cereal, butter, sobe, and came home..
Ending the day with more than I started.. and lots of cereal, fruit snacks, and granola.. and of course, my crayon fort I am buildingCool


Okay, sorry for the lengthy post.. good thing this is chat and not deals!!


Mavis.. come out now pleasenod

I've managed to be good all week, in spite of the fact that everyone was bringing goodies to work. One doc brought Krispy Kreme, opened the box and waved them under my nose Annoyed But I perservered laugh out loud

I don't know if I can pass on the dumplings though. It's in my brain now and I think before the weekend is over, I'll cave Roll
Ohhhhhhhhh, you just had to mention Krispy KremeCrying KK went out of business here which is probably good for me in the long run but ugh now the closest I ever get is non-warm ones from a gas stationSadwalk

Is it bad when your list to pack for the hospital includes "coupons"?

I had a bag of fresh peaches on my doorstep yesterday from my neice, maybe I'll make some cobbler too yummy

Here is a recipe for blueberry dumplings, but I'm a cheater at times so instead of making the dumplings from scratch you can use bisquik, or my favorite: crescent rolls. Roll them out, pinch the seams shut and then cut into whatever shape you want. Squares is what i usually do. Then coat them lightly in flour and drop into the blueberry mixture and cook until its nice and thick and bubbly. Top it off with Vanilla ice cream . O.M.G. It's such a good comfort food.


Blueberry Dumpling recipe:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar, plus 1 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 quart fresh or frozen blueberries
2 cups water

Stir flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or fork. Add milk to form dough. Set dumplings aside.

In a large saucepan, combine berries, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and water and bring to boil. Drop dumplings into hot boiling berries by the tablespoonful. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook slowly for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not remove the lid before 20 minutes has passed, and do not stir dumplings.



Cherry, what a BEAUTIFUL baby girl. I love her hair heart

Ank, hope Friday 13th turns out to be your lucky day heart
